   osteomyelitis/antibiotics/outpatient dialysis

   MaxAttack replied to anonypickle's topic in Critical Care

   You should first clarify what exactly you're looking for. Management of osteomyelitis? Outcomes of osteomyelitis treated outpatient vs inpatient? IV vs oral? Then turn it into a PICO question...

   Do you think AI will replace Nurses one day?

   MaxAttack replied to Pinkterton1234's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   The day I stop seeing panic alarms for "asystole" when there's clearly a rhythm on the monitor or for desats when the probe isn't even on a finger is the day I'll even start to think AI can do this...

   Nurse Practitioner had live sex for online viewing

   MaxAttack replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   While I don't agree with FullGlass's implication that there's something morally wrong with money for sex, I DO agree that posting on a public website is in no way, shape, or form "private."...

   Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Glad to see the Appeals Court is following her advice and is continuing to ensure grossly incompetent and dangerous nurses are held accountable in the appropriate

   Bill introduced to allow AI to prescribe medications

   MaxAttack replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   That's nuts. Using AI to suggest proper treatment, OK makes sense. But giving AI full prescriptive authority is absolutely crazy at this

   Revisiting The Lucy Letby case - what if she was innocent?

   MaxAttack replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

   The more I read about this case the more I'm convinced she ended up the fall guy and will spend her life in prison because the alternative would've been for a hospital to actually take accountability...

   Hospital Patient Care

   MaxAttack replied to WhirlyGirlNurse's topic in General Nursing

   The unfortunate thing is even if you provided feedback to the hospital, administration would take that as a sign of poor nursing without considering the factors that lead to it. They focus on the...

   I was deemed an unsafe student in nursing school and it affects my confidence as a nurse now

   MaxAttack replied to dsaprog's topic in General Nursing

   I was failed for being unsafe one semester in nursing school. I kept going, and yeah I felt like I was on the radar and that I barely squeaked through. But I did. I now have almost ten years of...

    Help! I need an advice!

    MaxAttack replied to dt1607's topic in General Nursing

    That first response was way out of line. I find it hard to believe they are a nurse and are so oblivious to such a prevalent disorder. Autism is a disability covered under the ADA. HR would...

    Stable Vtach

    MaxAttack replied to Matthew89's topic in General Nursing

    Adenosine works on the AV node so it would be ineffective in afib. Amio is a good first-line drug, but procainamide and sotalol can be effective. I don't know that there's a time per se to wait before...

    Have you ever untwisted an IV when you aren't supposed to?

    MaxAttack replied to Katr's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm sure worse things have happened, but now you know for the future. The biggest issue I see in this particular situation is contamination. I've seen experienced nurses disconnect an infusion...

    Revisiting The Lucy Letby case - what if she was innocent?

    MaxAttack replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

    This case is kind of scary. This all started because someone noticed that a particular nurse was on shift during patient deterioration and deaths. If you pick up shifts and are quick to help in an...

    MaxAttack replied to dumbquestion's topic in Nursing Humor

    Ahhhh gotcha. Yep, it's not ideal but typically the physicians want to see what's going on for themselves and evaluate for any missed

    a dumb author question about Foley catheters..

    MaxAttack replied to dumbquestion's topic in Nursing Humor

    He's going to head to the trauma bay first where the binder would be removed to allow for a complete assessment and a foley would be inserted (good research - part of that is checking for blood)...
